We are Unity Racing, an F1 in Schools team and German runner up from Hamburg. Therefore we will compete in the World Finals 2018 in Singapore.
This is our second year in the competition, as well as our second time competing together as a team. We are best friends united in our passion and goals – to become World Champion. Together we strive to achieve the best result we can possibly get by working hard, being ambitious and try to create new ways by innovative and creative thinking.
Being able to compete at the World Finals was already a dream we would have never thought would come true! But that is the best example: we DID make our dream come true – even though it took a lot of hard work and determination. So why shouldn’t our dream of becoming World Champion become true as well?
„Coming together is a beginning. Keeping together is progress. Working together is success.“ – Henry Ford
The Competition
F1 in Schools is a multi-disciplinary competition, open to all secondary schools, to design and manufacture compressed air-powdered F1 cars.
The competition is a unique technology challenge that enables second-level students get their hands on the latest technology from the worlds of technology, engineering and manufacturing.
The competitors learn how to apply these new skills in a practical, imaginative, competitive and exciting way. The F1 in Schools Challenge is not all about the speed of the car though. Teams are also judged on the quality of their engineering, graphic design, portfolio, media skills, handling of sponsorship and verbal presentation of their work.

Meet the Team
Talent wins games, but teamwork and intelligence wins championships.
Our Team consists of four students – two boys and two girls – visiting the Grootmoor high school in Hamburg. This is our second year competing at F1 in School. In our first season we were able to achieve a fourth place at the Hamburg Regionals. But we wanted more. We decided to compete a second time, improved our products and got rewarded with a second place at the Hamburg Regionals.
Filled with ambition and determination we were thrilled to be able to compete at the National Finals. We invested every single spare minute of our time working on our project and improving our produce to achieve our goal – a qualification for the World Finals. At the German Nationals we fought against the best teams of Germany – and became German runner-up! Therefore we are more than excited to be able to compete at these years Work Finals ind to have the chance to show our abilities on an international level and the represent Germany at the WF in Singapore; and to hopefully make our dream come true – to be World Champion.
